Leoni
Francesca Michielin
Lions
If you look closely, there’s a thin line
It’s the outline of the sea
No one can go there
Not even the best swimmers
But when summer comes
It always arrives through the window and strokes your head
It hides in the dark at night
Wakes you up at seven, uh uh
And that’s just fine
If we’ve really lost control
Between an open book and a deep mystery
We’ll beat our hands on the world
We’ll call ourselves "strong" until tomorrow
We’ll feel like lions
And it won’t be enough
The light on won’t erase the stars
We’ll invent even more beautiful ones
On the highway with cars stuck
We’ll listen to a love song
That doesn’t talk about love
But
There’s a light breeze blowing on these days
It’s a breeze that moves your hair and soothes your burnt shoulders
But when summer comes
It seems like everything stays the same
But in a different color
And we’ll stop to talk for hours
In front of the door, uh oh
And that’s just fine
If we’ve really lost control
Between an open book and a deep mystery
We’ll beat our hands on the world
We’ll call ourselves "strong" until tomorrow
We’ll feel like lions
And it won’t be enough
The light on won’t erase the stars
We’ll invent even more beautiful ones
On the highway with cars stuck
We’ll listen to a love song
That doesn’t talk about love.
